Have we lost our minds??

So, this morning I went over to The Sisterhood of the shrinking jeans to check out this Fitness Friday post. I became instantly insane inspired. While I’d love to join everybody and meet up in San Diego, I just don’t feel that’s feasible with an infant at home. I was a little disappointed at the thought of missing out on the opportunity to train for a 1/2 marathon. Why? I’m not so sure as I have never been a runner and am so incredibly out of shape it’s ridiculous. After trying to figure out how I could make it work, I realized we have a fabulous little marathon about 80 miles away from where we live and it would be just as rewarding to participate in it. In fact, family and friends could actually witness my participation first-hand!

I am definitely not the most dedicated person. Probably the only thing I have ever been dedicated about is breastfeeding so I realized I had to get someone else on board to run the 1/2 marathon with me. My hubby and I had just discussed that we both wanted to lose weight and get in better shape since we are approaching **cough cough** the big 3-0, so I decided he was going to be my victim partner. It took a bit of discussion and convincing, but he is in and he is definitely far more dedicated than I. We’ll both hold each other to it and he’s making sure we tell everybody so we are held accountable.

So Saturday May 22nd, 2010 we will be running in the Fargo 1/2 marathon! Are we nuts, or what? :) The hubby is even talking about tackling the full one next year!!
